I found I was constantly quiting the clock because it kept becomming the key application. So now, if the clock becomes key, and the about panel is not visible, it will automatially hide after 5 seconds. It will also try to avoid becomming key in the first place, but you can click on the clock text and the application will become key for 5 seconds.
Once the app it key, you may press Cmd-1 to show the about panel, however Cmd-Q does not quit anymore. I did this under the assumption that once the clock is running, you simply want to ignore it as much as possible.
I also changed the application icon, but since there is no Icon Editor in RDR, I made the icon with Grab.app
Enjoy

To the Clock Field
- Realigned the placement of the clock field so it is in the middle of the Menu Bar
- set the field font to the menu font, but always size 12 point
- set the field to no border or background
Added an About window.
- put a user preference in the About window (no need for a Preferences window for one value) so the user can set their own Date Format

How is it distributed?
As source only. That way you can change it around and make it work on your system.
What is it?
A clock that appears to be part of the menu bar.
How do I run it?
First build it. The double click the icon. It should start up. The icon should disappear. And you should have a clock in your menu bar.
I'm sure that Apple will provide a better clock in the next, later, unified version of Rhapsody, why should I use this?
Because it's here now, I hate having an entire icon space used up for a clock, and cause it's kinda neat.
